This is going to be lengthy. After about a two hour search, maybe more, I saw a review on here that said in essence; DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, STOP SEARCHING AND BOOK THE ROOM HERE." I want to tell everyone I AM SO GLAD I DID!
Now, I'm very particular, I like CLEAN, QUIET and GOOD RELIABLE INTERNET being that I work and conduct business online which allows me to travel as I do, and SITARA DID NOT DISAPPOINT! This place and the staff ARE BEYOND EXCEPTIONAL.
If this is your first time to THAILAND, its good to be in a nice place (oh I forgot VERY SECURE, WITH 24 HOURS GUARD AND KEY ONLY ACCESS TO THE BUILDING AND ROOMS) were you can feel at ease.
I saw another review said "don't let the outside fool you" and Im sure they only meant its not a fancy high-rise, but when you get inside it is SPOTLESS!!! I had just spend 6 months straight at SELINA in Guadalajara, Mexico in a fancy suite and was quiet spoiled, but when I got here and when it comes to the rooms, this room too is ABOSLUTELY GREAT; NOT fancy but very nice, very practical, very nice and very comfortable. EVERYTHING WORKS and seems like brand new. Water pressure is THE BEST, every appliance is top notch! Now, the bed..... well (chuckle) its classic famous THAILAND FIRM, (I hear VERY FIRM beds is the norm here) and for me that's ok with a few back issues, but it is quite firm so be warned; but I add the two big towels to it and I sleep like a baby ( LOL) Again, I LIKE A firm bed so excellent bed, and sheets, pillows, white as snow.
When I arrive I was greeted with the most warm FIST BUMP from the owner who has got to be one of the best people ANYONE can meet. ANYTHING YOU NEED OR WANT TO KNOW HE WILL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE IT and know it. Him and his daughter are exceptional!!!
This is like my third booking, and when its all said and done and I head out next month, I will have stayed here close to 55 days!
Oh, the cleaning ladies; About 3 of them come to your room and when they clean THEY CLEAN! They are the best!
Location wise you may think its not close to main areas but they have a driver of a TUK-TUK van thingy, downstairs that takes you to the train station, the two malls, (each with very nice grocery stores ) the MAIN HWY, all in about 4 minutes, free! You could walk it too in ten minutes and there are taxis and tuk tuk drivers everywhere to bring you back for about $1.50 (US)
I could go on and on, so I would say to you, stop searching and just book your room now! THIS IS A FANTASTIC PLACE TO STAY, ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.
